I would like to relate the difference between a Stovebolter and a mere Stovebolt Owner.

I took the day off, and instead of walking the dogs in my neighborhood, I drove my wife to work in Redmond, and walked the dogs there.
We cam upon a beauty of a 56-57 shortbed stepside. It was well used, but very solid. No holes or dents and very slight surface rust here and there. It had chrome bumpers, and a logo on the side that said V8 and (I think but I'm not sure) it said Hydramatic (Well, it was something-a-matic anyhow ).
It's a GMC. The interior was complete and stock and very clean. Stock wheels and good tires.

A guy, whom I assume is the owner, came out and was getting into a new pickup parked behind it. He saw me admiring the Jimmy and in a loud voice said, "It's not for sale."
I told him I was just admiring it and he repeated, "It's not for sale godammit!"

Normally, when I meet a 'bolter, I make sure he/she knows about this website. But this guy didn't give me an inch.

Maybe he was just having a bad day.
